Isn't WSDOT in the process of widening that stretch?

How do Amtrak's Cascades trains compare to driving or to the shuttle between Seattle and Portland?

With my diesel car and American diesel prices, It would cost me about $ 11 one way.

Looking at Amtrak's website...$29 for a 3.5 hour trip. (According to Google Maps, the drive would take about 2 hours and 45 minutes if traffic's flowing well.)
Chris:
station to station is quite different than from driving door-to-door. Additional transport is the main disadvantage of public transport, but politicians usually only look at fabulous station-to-station travel times.
